Swimming Pools / Recreational Water

All of Midland County's public swimming pools are inspected by the Environmental Health Division to ensure the pools are following State of Michigan rules. Seasonal outdoor pools must pass an inspection before they are allowed to open, and year-round pools must pass yearly inspections to remain open. In addition, all public pool waters are sampled by the operator every quarter to determine chlorine / bromine and bacteria levels. A public pool will be closed if it is not operating in compliance with state and local rules and regulations.

If the bacteria levels are unsafe, we will notify the pool or beach operators to take corrective action. The Environmental Health Division will close public beaches and swimming pools if unsafe conditions cannot be corrected immediately.
